Dear
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
With your focus on education, I often find myself thinking about how much the world has changed since I was in your shoes
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
The world is now a much “smaller” place—people of all cultures can communicate and travel with ease
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
You face great challenges today…just as I did…just as my parents before me
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o LThese words of advice might be helpful:
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
Recognize that the only limits you face are those you set for yourself
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
Recognize that YOU are responsible for your successes and failures
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o LStrive for excellence…not perfection
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
Look for ways to succeed, rather than excuses to fail
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
Develop other information sources to verify, or challenge, what you are being taught…
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
“History” is routinely twisted or rewritten to support a particular point of view…
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L Get other ideas
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o LParticipate—but don’t be a pain!
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
Many of these suggestions will be useful throughout your life—learn them well
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
I wish you the greatest success in your efforts and hope you find school both rewarding and enjoyable
A P A r e n t ’ s L e t t e r t o M y C h i L d r e n i n s C h o o L
Love,
